DOT TO DOT · CURVES & GRID SYSTEM
Start with a few dots. Build a whole design.
A simple reference grid makes it easier to plan repeated quilting lines. The PQW Dot to Dot Curves & Grid System combines two grids with three curve-and-line templates, giving you a structured way to explore straight lines, gentle waves and curved layouts.
Two base grids plus three templates for curves, semi-curves and a straight edge.
Mark the reference points, then plan the connecting lines before stitching.
Try the manufacturer’s practice exercises and build confidence on smaller pieces.

How the system works
- Choose a base grid and mark the reference dots using a suitable fine-tip fabric pencil.
- Align a curve or straight edge with those points to lay out the quilting lines.
- Repeat or offset the arrangement to build the design, checking the spacing as you go.
- Remove the templates and quilt the marked lines using your chosen machine setup.
Choose the right marking pencil
The pencil tip needs to fit through the grid holes and leave a visible, removable mark. Test it on a fabric scrap before marking the project. Use a small quilt sandwich to check the layout, tension and stitching before moving to the finished quilt.
